The video for “Tamale” proves it’s Tyler the Creator’s world, we just live in it

Kanye West may have G.O.O.D Fridays, but Tyler, the Creator has the rest of the week. With no real frequency, the Odd Future head honcho announces some big project and the denizens of the Internet wait around till 9 p.m. PT for whatever fumbles out from Tyler’s frightening brain-space. Past weekday extravaganzas have yielded videos for the Wolf tracks “IFHY” and “Domo 23″, plus a sneak-peek at Tyler’s first foray into feature film, Wolf. Now, we get another “visual interpretation of Tyler’s mind” with the video for deep cut “Tamale”.

The video is a GIF maker’s Christmas, with scenes of mini-Tyler jumping up and down on a woman’s rear-end, a normal-sized Tyler riding around on a cat, a bald Tyler leading a marching band, an emotional Tyler making use of his own lotion line, and a cigarette-smoking Tyler broing down with Pharrell. And all that’s without mentioning the one scene apparently censored from the video, “because people aren’t ready to have intelligent conversations before they judge. Welcome to America.”
